VIDEO GAMING is very addictive. I dont play anymore, but my kids play the xbox. So I know all about them. How they can tune the world out for a game. I read the posts, and believe I could give you some advice.
First: They are safe at home playing as opposed to playing elswhere.
Second: You and your wife should have one solid word on the game system.
Third: Question what they are playing, world of warcraft and such games like it are no good, and i have known of kids falling into a game like that all day everyday, losing the more important things in life.
Fourth: If you smash the xbox, they will probably play xbox down the street anyway.
Fifth: A good option, is to buy a wii, they are more fun anyway. Not a bunch of killing and fighting.
Sixth: If they are in school sports, they will have no energy at night. (That has worked the best for me).
It is a serious power struggle, but it usually works out, it is just a phase.
I hope this has helped you, talk to you later.
